segs_properties - description of the Segments entity
properties
Description
The Segs entity is a leaf of the graphics entities hierarchy. This
entity defines the parameters for a set of colored segments or colored
arrows.
-
visible: This field contains the visible property value for
the entity . It should be "on" or "off" .
By default, the segments are visibles, the value's property is
"on". If "off" the segments are not drawn on
the screen.
-
data: This field is two column matrix [x,y,[z]] which gives
the coordinates of the segments boundary. If
xv=matrix(x,2,-1) and yv=matrix(y,2,-1) then
xv(:,k) and yv(:,k) are the boundary
coordinates of the segment numbered k.
-
line_style: The line_style property value should be an integer in
[0 6]. 0 stands for solid the other value stands for a selection of
dashes. This property applies to all segments.
-
thickness: This field contains the thickness property for all
segments. Its value should be a non negative integer..
-
line_mode: This field contains the default line_mode property
value for the segs. Its value should be "on" (line drawn)
or "off" (no line drawn).
-
mark_mode: This field contains the default mark_mode property
value for the polyline. Its value should be "on" (marks
drawn) or "off" (no marks drawn).
-
mark_foreground: This field contains the mark_foreground property
value which is the marks' edge color. Its value should be a color
index (relative to the current color_map).
-
mark_background: This field contains the mark_background property
value which is the marks' face color. Its value should be a color
index (relative to the current color_map).
-
arrow_size: If the value of this property is 0, segments are drawn, else
arrows are drawn and the size of the arrows is given by the absolute
value of this property.
-
segs_color: This field contains the vector of colors to use to draw each
segment. Each element is a color index relative to the current
colormap.
-
clip_state: This field contains the clip_state property value for
the segments. It should be :
-
"off" this means that the segments is not
clipped.
-
"clipgrf" this means that the segments is clipped
outside the Axes box.
-
"on" this means that the segments is clipped
outside the rectangle given by the property
clip_box.
-
clip_box: This field contains the clip_box property. By default
segment are not clipped, clip_state is "off", so the value should be
an empty matrix .Other cases the vector [x,y,w,h]
(upper-left point width height) defines the portions of the segments
to display, however clip_state property value will be
changed.
-
parent: This property contains the handle of the parent. The parent of the
segment entity should be of the type "Axes" or
"Agregation".
Examples
set("figure_style","new") //create a figure
a=get("current_axes");//get the handle of the newly created axes
a.data_bounds=[-10,-10;10,10];
x=2*%pi*(0:7)/8;
xv=[2*sin(x);9*sin(x)];
yv=[2*cos(x);9*cos(x)];
xsegs(xv,yv,1:8)
s=a.children
s.arrow_size=1;
s.segs_color=15:22;
for j=1:2
for i=1:8
h=s.data(i*2,j);
s.data(i*2,j)=s.data(i*2-1,j);
s.data(i*2-1,j)= h;
end
end
s.segs_color=5; //set all the colors to 5
s.clip_box=[-4,4,8,8];
a.thickness=4;
xrect(s.clip_box);
